Lost All Your Jaguar or Land Rover Keys?

Here's What Happens Next (And How We Save You Thousands)

Losing all your keys to a modern Jaguar, Land Rover, or Range Rover isn't just inconvenient. It's a technical emergency that most locksmiths can't solve. Your vehicle's sophisticated security system is designed to prevent exactly this scenario, which is why main dealers often quote eye-watering prices and multi-week delays.

At JLR Auto Keys, we specialize in all-keys-lost (AKL) situations across England, using dealer-level technology to program new keys when everyone else says it's impossible.

Why "All Keys Lost" Is Different for JLR Vehicles

Unlike older vehicles where a locksmith could simply cut a new blade and program a basic transponder, modern Jaguar Land Rover vehicles (2010–2026) use a multi-layered security architecture:

  • Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM): Stores encrypted key data and controls passive entry/start systems.
  • Body Control Module (BCM): Manages central locking, alarm systems, and module synchronization.
  • Remote Function Actuator (RFA): Controls remote key functions on certain models.
  • Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology: In 2021+ models, measures exact distance between fob and vehicle to prevent relay attacks.

When all keys are lost, these modules enter a "locked" state that prevents standard programming. This is where most locksmiths give up and where dealers start quoting replacement costs.

The Dealer's Solution: Replace Everything (£4,500 to £6,000)

Here's what typically happens when you take an all-keys-lost JLR to a main dealer:

  • Diagnosis: They'll tell you the KVM and/or BCM modules are "locked" and cannot accept new keys.
  • Parts Order: New modules must be ordered, often on backorder for 1 to 3 months due to supply chain issues.
  • Module Replacement: Complete replacement of KVM, sometimes BCM, sometimes both.
  • Total Cost: £4,500 to £6,000 including parts, labour, and programming.
  • Waiting Time: Vehicle immobilized for weeks or even months.

The reality: In most cases, these modules don't need replacing. They need specialist programming that dealers either can't or won't do.
